Chapter 9 Acceptance and Betrayal
A/N: Sorry this took so long! I started at 3pm and finished it 4 hours later. Soooo many distractions. My little bratty brother was shooting me with his new Nerf gun….which I still don't understand why he got it. It wasn't a holiday, or his birthday, he didn't even do anything good in school! I'm the straight A student who does chores and stuff yet what do I get? Nada. Just goes to show you it sucks having parents that favor between their kids. And he can't read yet so I'm not worried that he saw me typing this.
Anyway Thank You for all the awesome reviews! You guys are great. And thanks to those of you who are reviewing each chapter. Makes me feel special! Lol. And to those of you who wanna start doing reviewing for each chapter Thank You too! Lol.
Carlos and James smiled when they walked into 2J and saw Logan and Kendall sitting at the kitchen island talking. Logan was smiling and so was Kendall. Logan was talking animatedly as Kendall watched. Logan stopped talking when he noticed James and Carlos. "Uh h-hey guys. Glad you got out of the elevator ok." Kendall said as Logan retreated to his room.
James and Carlos looked at each other. Kendall sighed. "He thinks you guys hate him cause he's gay." The two boys "oh'd". They all walked into the room to find Logan solving math problems. "2, 8, 9, 3, carry the 9, divide by four, find the square roo-"
Logan suddenly felt himself being picked up out of the chair by Carlos. Carlos gripped his shoulders and Logan nervously looked at Carlos. Then Logan was being hugged. He was stunned and was still for a moment, before hugging back. "We still love you Logan. You're our brother nothing's gonna change that. I don't care if you're gay." Logan felt tears rolling down his cheeks. "Thanks Carlos."
Carlos released Logan so that he could face James. James looked pissed. "L-listen James, I know that this might take some getting used to, bu-" James cut him off with a sock on the arm. "Why didn't you tell us sooner? Seriously, I needed a gay friend. It's on my list of things to achieve before I'm 20!" Logan wiped the tears from his face and laughed. "Cause I didn't want to be the person you come to when you wanna talk about fashion and hair product!" The four hugged. They pushed together Logan and Kendall's bed and sat down in a circle. They were up until about 4am talking and laughing like old times. Even though he would always say he needed new friends, Logan knew he couldn't have wished for better friends.
Kendall was laying in bed wide awake. It was about 6am, but he had gotten used to waking up this early. He was on his side staring at the smaller form in the bed next to his. It had been about a week since the roof incident and Kendall was still unconditionally in love with Logan. He followed Logan everywhere and did his best to make sure Logan was happy. He needed to make it up to him for not being there.
'And the sooner I make it up and he's happy, the sooner we can be together. But why? Why didn't he just take me last week? I poured my heart out to him. I love him.' Logan stirred. 'But I guess he's still hung up on Adam. I can't really blame him. What happened was pretty traumatic.'
Logan opened his eyes and saw Kendall staring at him. He didn't realize that Logan was awake until it was too late. Kendall shot out of bed awkwardly and walked into their bathroom blushing. Logan sighed. 'I feel so guilty. He loves me and I lo-like him too.' Logan was trying to avoid using the word "love" when thinking about Kendall. He was afraid he would go through "the cycle" again. 'I really want to be with him, but it's too soon to tell if what I'm feeling is real. But how do I know?'
Logan was pulled from his thoughts when Kendall came in looking refreshed. He plopped himself at the foot of Logan's bed. "So, it's Saturday and once again there is no school and no rehearsals so what do you wanna do?" Logan smiled sadly. Kendall was trying to hide the hurt expression, but Logan could see it in his eyes. "Kendall, I know your trying to hide it."
Kendall's warm smile faltered for a second. "I don't know what you mean Logan. Common, what do you wanna do? Swimming? Reading? Movie? How about a chick flick…like Dear John. I saw it at the video rental place. I'm sure you'll like it." Well, if Kendall wasn't going to admit it, Logan wasn't going to push him. Logan cracked up. "Dude, I'm gay. That doesn't mean I'm a chick. I'm still 100% male." Kendall chuckled too. "I know, but hey I'm gay too, but look at me. I'm the mannest man in LA!" Kendall made a show of flexing his muscles and different poses like a bodybuilder. Logan stared at the muscles in his arms that were being hugged tightly by Kendall's t-shirt when he flexed them.
"No you're not. I'm gay. You…you just seem to like me. But if it came to any other guy, you wouldn't find them appealing at all. Right?" Logan looked slightly worried he may have hurt Kendall a little more when he mentioned that he liked him. Kendall just smiled. "Then what am I, smart-ass?" Logan sighed in relief and got up and walked into the bathroom. "I don't know, you tell me."
Kendall frowned when Logan closed the door. 'Damn, that was painful. And I feel so guilty that he feels guilty.'
Logan, Kendall, Carlos, and James decided to go see a movie. A scary movie to Logan's dismay. In fact it was the scariest movie of the year according to some horror movie fanatics at the Palm Woods. Paranormal Activity 2. (1)
"AHH!" Logan yelped and accidently threw the popcorn up in the air and held onto Kendall. Logan was practically humping Kendall as the popcorn began to rain down on them. Carlos and James snickered and continued to watch the movie. To Kendall it seemed slightly romantic. "Don't worry Logan. Stephanie said it's completely fake. You're a genius. I'll bet you can see all the things that are wrong with this movie." Logan turned to Kendall. "I KNOW, BUT THE FUCKIN POP UPS ARE SCARY!" Several people shh-ed them which only made Logan more annoyed. It wasn't really the movie that was bothering him the most. He just felt like someone was watching him. He had looked around the theater several times, but no one looked familiar. He thought he saw someone in the control room, but just figured it was an employee.
The four boys stumbled out of the elevator and raced toward their apartment. They knew the hallways inside and out and didn't even pay attention to the room numbers until they came to a halt in front of the room that was supposed to be 2J.
Logan finished first a second before Carlos thanks to his sugar high. He had one of every candy they had at the theater. That boy could not resist the temptation of sweets. He finally caught his breath and then lost it again when he looked the apartment they were in front of.
"K-Kendall, this is Adam's apartment." Kendall sneered at the door. James saw the anger boiling and quickly spoke up. "I guess we accidently pushed the wrong button on the elevator. He said he lived in 1J right? Well the letters on all the floors must be in the same order. That's why we got here. 2J is like right above us then." Carlos accidently pushed on the door and it opened slightly.
"Looks like he moved out. It's empty." Kendall looked even madder. "What a coward. He's prolly afraid we'll turn him into the cops. Good riddance. Why don't you wanna turn him in Logan?" Logan shrugged. "I don't know, I just don't. Can we just go?" They all nodded. Kendall hesitantly lead Logan back to the elevator.
"Hello? Mr. Garcia? This is Kendall." (2)
"Oh hello Kendall. What's up? Is something wrong? You usually aren't the one calling me."
"Well not exactly. You see Logan was at this restaurant in Lincoln Heights picking up dinner and then this guy came in and robbed the place. He turned the gun on Logan and took his wallet. Logan's alright, but he won't come to th police because he knew the guy…as a er-friend."
"I see. Do you have any info on who?"
"Yeah. His name is Adam Walker. Blue eyes. Medium length black hair. About 23 years old. About an inch or two shorter than me."
"Alright Kendall. I'll call you if something comes up. Don't worry I'll do what I can. Watch out for the others alright?"
"Thanks Mr. Garcia, I will. Oh and could you not mention this to anyone. I kinda went behind Logan's back by doing this."
"Of course, Kendall. Good night."
"Good night."
Kendall hung up the phone. He felt so guilty for betraying Logan's trust. He turned around to see Logan standing there with his arms crossed and a pout. "What were you just doing?"
(1) My friends invited me to see this today, but I am absolutely terrified by these movies. I like horror movies about killers, but hate the ones about supernatural stuff and monsters and utterly disturbing ones like except for Saw. Hate that too.
(2) In this story Mr. Garcia moved to LA. Sorry, I just wanted it like that.
A/N: So? What do you think? Oh and I know how I'm gonna have Adam's dad in this. I figured it out while lying in bed. Normally thses things come to me quickly, but my laptop charger is broken and now I'm stuck with my desktop. I need to be comfortable to write!
